A WILY VENGEANCE.

There are only a few army posts where •very body doesn't know everybody else's business, and particularly in Pinos Alton, where, not counting the soldados of the United States, there are no more than nine white people. All these, equally as a matter of course, are familiar with one another's affairs. Only one matter has ever baffled them, that being the true eause of the broken engagement between Lieutenant Teddy Dupor.t of the garrison and Miss Warren, daughter of the inspector general. It was the only real, genuine love affair in the place, and naturally every one took the greatest interest in it. The wedding day had been set and arrangements made for a honeymoon trip. The women were hunting up things that might perhaps be made decent to wear. The lovers themselves seemed happy as the day was long, and things were running as merrily as the proverbial marriage bell. Then, as Mrs. James expressed it, before you could say Jack Robinson" the engagement was declared brokenMiss Warren departed a day after for New York, and Lieutenant Dupont started on bis downward race to the devil. It was ail very strange no one understood, and no one understands now, unless it be Enriqueta I

After leaving West Point Teddy Dupont had, as is often the case with young and untried officers, started out on a pretty rapid pace. At that time he was stationed in a rnther tough city, where many men go the pace. But before he had the time to do very much harm to himself bis regiment bad been ordered out to Pinos Altos, a New Mexican sand, adobe, mosquito, Greaser, border town, where United States troops were-needed several times per month to quell disturbances that were continually arising between the few mining whites and the Greaser-Mexican population.

None of the officers' wives went at flr«t, since it was a more than usually rough town. Later when things had quieted down they would come. And so it happened that for several months there was no white woman in the town of Pinos Altr«. Had there been, perhaps this story wou .1 never have been written.

At first things had been rather exciting, for the Greasers and Mexioans and Inotans, resenting the entry of the soldados, had "raised Cain" to some extent. And, as in the making of trouble and worry they preferred the methods of sticki knives in the back after dark, burning houses and hurriedly equipped barrackR «to Lieutenant Dupont and his men h.«d some little work in the quieting of the turbulent spirits. So long as the rows were on Duj ont was in his glory. When thoy were off and there was nothing on earth to occupy him but a few hours' duty each day, he became desperately bored and 111 tempered He thought longingiy of the bigeltief, with their glittering streets, tho music, perks, clubs and other places. Then he would stare angrily from the barraoks window down at the aandy town of Pinos Altos, with its one solitary mission church and the low adobe houses that seemed populated equally by burros, pigs and fat, brown babies. There were even no flowers to be seen—nothing but prickly cactus and miserable, dried up nirsquite—not pleasant outlook for a young and unprovr' officer who had yet to learn that duty Is duty whether at West Point -or Pinos Altos It was too muqh 'or young Dupont, and he cast'about him without further delay for something to amuse him—anything to amuse him.

Not that y.11 could call Enriquetaamusing—far from it! But she was pretty—so pretty I A woman of the sierras,'half Moxioan and half Indian, with some sprinkling of half forgotten Spanish blood, she was typloal cJ hor dusky, passionate raeo, and for a lorg while (two months) Dupont was wildly in love with her and had serious thoughts of presenting h«»r to his people at home as Mrs. Teddy Dupont. But common sense stopped in and made him realise that the seraped and blanketed girl, even with her beautiful eyes and faoe and figure, would look odd at tho head the breakfast table at home. She might look still stranger receiving his mother'* guests in the stfltely old drawing rooin and at the dinners that were given weekly by the old fashioned folk in his county. He shuddered as he thought of the latter, even though at that same moment Knriqueta was swinging in his hammook am. taking sly puffs now and then from his own cigarette, for she could not be made to MO that forks and knives should be used Instead of fingers when eating.

Tho other men in the camp of oourse knew about "Dupont's flirtation with that good looking Greaser girl," but It was none of their business to say anything about the doings of their superior officer. Besides, many of them had flirtations of their own from Sublieutenant Jackson down to the boots boy, and people who llvo In glass houses should not throw •tones.

Pinos Altos had become so regenerated at last that the married men began to talk of the coming o( their wives and the fixing up of qunrtem. There were great sth and bustle a*)d hammering and scouring and mending begun on all sides In the married quarters. Even the unrvgenerate unmarried men sheepishly did what they could to aid the laboring Benedicts—"It would be so good to see a white woman again," thoy all agreed. Dupont didn't oare—he knew all the married women of the Seventh, and they were, according to his ideas, slower than most no fun In them—no go.' And as for some harmless flirtations! He suilled as he thought of little Mrs. James and the time that he had dared to squeexe her hand at a dance! How "hopping angry" she had been! No. it didn't matter to him whether they oame or not. Enriqueta, savage as she was, had mora life and go in her that) the entire outfit. By the way, he most take oare that they didn't find out about her, •lie he would be cut. It isn't pleasant to be cut by the only white women in one's station

It was much Jollier after tbe women came, for they stirred things up, as wom» so are In the habit of doing, and many little amoaements were organised, such as picnics at riding parties and card games and small dances, where there ware Just about enough couples to make tbe lancer* come oat straight. Dupont faithfully took his part In everything, though of late he had teen drinking rather heavily, and two or three of the women didn't any longer apeak to htm. T&ey had their suspicions about Enrique**—to a little place one Is obliged to know these thing* so I am told—but, above all, when you Invite gentleman (and an officer) to play eardswlth you It is awkward to have him eonse very marly drunk and entirely botstwroo*

Tbe truth of the matter was that Dupont,

was tired—sadly tired—of Knriqueta, and Lnnnliac otitis unavailing effort* to getrld of her bad

driven hint to drink and distraction. Be had always drunk, of course* t» a certain ex two never as be had been doing of lata

SSIllli

There was ui chance of his getting exchanged tfcere was less chance of his get* ting rid of Enriqueta, and he was beginning to understand what it means to have a millstone (or a woman) tied around his neck. He could never move ^without her slyly following or watching him. If playing poker with Jackson and the others, he would see her vivid, dark face and glittering eyes peering in at the smoking room window. If having tea in Mrs. James* pretty sitting room, the Indian would lie lurking somewhere about the yard or patio. Of course every one sdon knew, and that was what started the drinking.

Poor Dupont! It was all very bad, and it kept getting worse, for few nights passed when he went sober to sleep. Six nights of tbe seven his brother officers put him to bed, or else he spent the night on the floor—anywhere. Had it not been for the arrival of Miss Warren on a visit to 'Mrs. James, it is possible that D. T.'s would have been Dupont's fate in a very short time. *Many people say that a woman, no matter bow good and sweet she may be, can never exert any influence over a drinking man, for that such a one is lost—no woman can save him. It may be so in most cases, but In the case of Dupont and Miss Warren an exception was proved.

It was love at first sight, for Miss Warren was a woman that few men could help loving, and Dupont, in spite of Enriqueta and drink, was Still a man eminently to be cared for. And, then, he was down he had been drinking be was in trouble, though the girl did not know what tron ble It was, and some of his friends ba%l deserted him That was enough for Dorothy Warren. Fond of him as she was, the fact that other people were down on him and said sneering things about him made her care all tbe more. She told him so.

Determined for Dorothy's sake to brace up, stop drinking and other things, Dupont plain!*- and roughly told Enriqueta that he was to marry a white "lady that be wouid give her (Enriqueta) all the money she needed to go away, and that was all. Tb^re was no scene, and Enriqueta said sullenly that she would go away that night. Dupont flung away all his brandy bottles, took an ice cold bath and some bromo seltzer and prepared tor a long ride over the hills with his sweetheart. Somewhat astonished at the way In wbioh Enriqueta took her dismissal, he would not think about it longer, for Dor othy would make a man of him.

The engagement, Dorothy said, would last only if he proved that be nee4 notwould not—drink any more. There was no other re-son preventing their early marriage, fo~ he had money besides his pay, and she was independent. Only her dearest Ted must show everybody that he could give up drinking. She believed him, but he must give up drinking for her father's sake.

What the poor fellow endured in his hard fight against the oraving for drink only a man who has been through' it can say. There were times when he did not dare go near Dorothy, others when he would look himself into his room, still others when he would almost give up. Sometimes he would sit with his revolver in his hand, fighting the oraving and half determined to end it all with the pistol. Then Dorothy's sweet faoe would come before him, and he would fight on. And in the end it was all conquered, and he knew that he would never feel the craving again—for Dorothy's sake.

The wedding day was fixed. Dorothy's things had been sent for, sinoe she wouiJ not leave him to go home fcr them, and the two were as happy as people ever get to be in this world.

Only at times would Dupont think of Enriqueta. He had wanted to tell Dorothy about her, but Dorothy would hear nothing With her trusting arms about his neck, she had told him that she wanted to hear nothing about the pist the future would le hers. The only thing was—the drinking! That ,wouljd be all, that could part them/

That night there was a tiny dance (it the hnrriK-ks for ubout ten couples. Some of tlie Tenth from I^as Vegas had at great expense and trouble come over to Pinos Altos to attend it, and the ladles had pat forth extra efforts to have things in sbapa The walls were covered with regimental' colors, swords, sabers and flags the music was to Ite extraordinarily good and the supper ditto also there was ice

Dupont changed hurriedly from riding olothes to recusation evening dress, for he was to take Dorothy as a matter of ooufse They had been riding that afternoon.

It was a .varm, sultry night. Dupont was thirsty, and there was no seltzer in his room, neither was his man about to get some, so he was obliged to put up With common water that stood cooling In an Indian oha on the window sill. Hen tioed the water's extraordinary coldness and the taste that the pottery imparted to It, but nothing else, for his tie was too stiff ami his cuffs wouldn't button. He soon liegan to feel rather dizzy, but thought it was the heat. He struggled on at his cuffs, still feeling queer his faoe began to burn, there was an awful roaring in his ears, and his brain seemed to be bursting. His last conscious thought was that he was poisoned then came unconsciousness or madness—whatever It was—for 20 minutes later he was tearing through the street half dressed, shouting, singing. laughing and cursing, waving his anus in the air, his face purple—undeniably and terribly drunk, as every one said who saw him. Fortunately those who knew about it were his brother officers, and th«y took him home at some trouble to themselves, sinoe their usually quiet lieutenant had a burning desire to kill every one js ho touched him and fought and shrieked like a lunatic. He was tied on his bed. and there Dorothy, uneasy at his absence, saw him

She went to the dance for a short time Later that night, to tbe sound of wild, drunken yells from the barracks, she packed up, and next morning she went to the far distant railway station on the early diligencia. She gave no reason, and no one knew what could be the matter. She left a small note, however, for Lieutenant Dupont

It was two days before tbe poor fellow recovered, for tnirehoela, the mysterious, erasing Indian poison, it lingering In it* effect*, and while it Is in your blood yon have irresistible desires to kill, murder, shriek and generally make a raving beast of yourself. And, Enriqueta had not been sparing when she slipped it Into tbe water bottle. But nf oouree no one believes that it was mlrehuela.—G. Cunyngham Cunningham In Argonaut.

The duties of a housekeeper are many, and these are at least two kinds of house keepers. The visiting housekeeper must not live in the bouse, but is none the less responsible for what goes on there. She must be on hand early In the morning, in terview the cook and all the other servants, write ont the menu for the day, which is sometimes submitted to the lady of the bouse for her approval, must then give or ders as to the work that shall be done and go to market. If there is to be a luncheon or dinner given, she must see that the flowers are ordered and that the table is correct In all its appointments before the guests arrive and in many instanoes must remain in the pantry while everything is being served. If a servant is derellot in duty, she must disoharge chat servant and replace him or her and generally without any consultation with her employer. In other words, the responsibility of the house la on her shoulders, and it is for her to see that all arrangements for the comfort of the family shall be carried on correctly and satisfactorily.

That this position is no sinecure goes Without saying. It is a position that oalls for a considerable knowledge of how a fashionable household should live aocord ing to the social law of the day. There have been two or three Instanoes where this position has been i\eld for several winters and tbe housekeeper and her employer have not met more, than two or three times in the course of the winter. It must not be forgotten-that the housekeeper must keep all the aocounts and pax the bills, and for this purpose a check is sent her every month, which lnoludes her own salary As yet there Is no fixed rule as to what a visiting housekeeper shall repeive for salary. Anywhere from $36 to $100 is given, and often the employer does not hesitate to say that the housekeeper's salary is paid from the difference in the bills, the oversight of the servants and expenses producing such remarkable results.

In all the large households a suit- of rooms is set apart for the resident house keeper's use, and one or more servants are detailed to wait upon her. She has her own dining room and sitting room, as well as of course her own bedroom, and she is at liberty to receive her own friends as she wills, it being of course understood that there are no men among the oallers. The life is lonely there is absolutely no intercourse with the family, but the position requires constant carefulness and a good business head and Is interesting.

The absolute independence of it has its good points. There is always money to be made out of it, for the resident housekeeper receives as much pay as the visiting housekeeper, and has, besides, ber board andv lodgings.' On the other hand, tiie visiting housekeeper can take charge of one or two households at the same time, and in that way increases her income. The housekeeper has entire charge of the domestic staff, and dismisses or engages the servant at will. Her employer asks no questions—In fact, turns over tbe entire business of the household to her. She is supposed to see that every detail of tbe enormous establishment Is in thorough order. This necessitates early rising to oversee tbe work that is done the first thing in the morning, and then the superintending of the different breakfast trays that are sent up in the large country houses where house parties are tbe rule is no light task If she has suoceeded in obtaining a good butler and a staff of men servants, all she will have to do is to see that the table is in order before tbe luncheon and dinner are served, for she can depend upon them to a certain extent— New York Press

One of the longest visits on record is one that was made by a woman in the south. Perhaps such a thing could not have happened in a less hospitable part of tbe country. The visitor was one of those moat unfortunate waifs and strays of the country, a refined woman with no home of ber own that waa in the days when women were expected to be cared for and not go out into the world to look out for themselves. This woman went one day to spend tbe day with a friend, and she remained for 36 years She outlived tbe father and mother of the family, took their places to some extent in the hearts of tbe children, and for all those years she lived there happy and beloved and giving In return for her home those services which cannot be hired.—New York times

THE CARE OF A HOUSE

HOW IT IS ASSUMED BY A PROFESSIONAL HOUSEKEEPER.

The Work Whfclt Site Does and the Salary Wlifcti It Commands A Growing and a Lncratlve Employment For Capable Women.

It seems funny in these days, when so many jokes are made on the subject of women turning their backs upon all house-' hold employments and going out into the world to engage in business pursuits, that tbe art of housekeeping is receiving so much attention. As a means of livelihood it bids fair to be one of tbe most lucrative business ventures that woman can en gage in, and there are many smart women who realize this and are being trained or are training others to be proficient in it.

The enormous households that are con sidered necessary to the well being of ev ery fashionable woman demand that there should be some one in charge the entire time. Better servants are obtained now than a few years ago, but we are rapidly following on the English lines, and serv ants are trained for different work, housemaid does not feel that she can be anything but a housemaid a parlor maid can never interfere with the housemaid ~a fourth man must not encroach upon the duties of tbe second man, and so on Wages are high in this country, but the people who pay them demand good service and take no excuse for bad work. To secure good work there must be a daily watch over a large staff of workpeople, for they are one and all impressed with the idea that to do as little as possible for the money received is the cleverest thing that can be done. To watch over all these details would not be pbssible for a woman who has her sooial duties to look after, and she therefore must employ a house keeper, whose duty in life will oonsist in seeing that nothing is left undone in those immense establishments.

THE CHINFC&FI JEWS.

SynaKorae In

KSF-FUDK-FOO—Mys

tery of the Orlgrln of the People.

Among the most remote colonies are the «fows of China, who have aroused interest Ing inquiry and been the theme of many French writers. Early in the seventeenth century and shortly after the Italian missionaries had come to Pekingoneof them, Matthew Rioci, received a morning call. His visitor wore the gorgeous Chinese dress, including the* oue, but the figure and face were hot Mongolian, and the smiling countenance was not in keeping with tbe dignified solemnity of a Chinaman. Tho gentleman's name was Ngai, and he had heard of the arrival of some foreigners who worshiped one Lord of heaven and earth and w.ho yet were not Mohammedans. He belonged to the same religion, he explained, and had tailed to make tbeir acquaintance. Xow, Master Ngai made it clear that he was an Israelite, a native of Kae-Fung-Foo, the capital of Honan. He had come to Peking to pass an examination for a mandarin degree, and had been led by curiosity and brotherly feeling to call at the mission bouse.

In bis native city, he said, there were 10 or 12 families of Israelites, and a synagogue which they had recently restored at the expense of 10,000 crowns, and they had a roll of the law 400 or 500 years old. The missionary's letters described this synagogue. It occupied a space between S00 or 400 feet in length by about 150 in breadth, and was divided into four courts It had borrowed some decorative splendor from China. The inscription in Hebrew, "Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is one Lord, blessed be the name of the glory of his kingdom forever and over." and the Ten Commandments were emblazoned in gold. Silken ourtains inclosed the "Bethel" which enshrined the sacred books and which only the rabbi might ^iter during the time of prayer. Every detail of this place, with its* inoense, its furniture and all its types of good things yet to oome, is interesting. There in the last century thechildren of Israel at Kae-Fung-Foo worshiped the God of their fathers with the rites that pointed totne Messiah, of whose advent, as far as it can be ascertained, they never heard until the arrival of the Italian missionaries.

Learned inon have entered into discussions as to whether these people were Jews or Israelites, whether they came to China from the Assyrian captivity or the Roman dispersion. They themselves say that their forefathers came from the west, and it is probable that the settlers arrived Ly way of Khorassan and Samarkand. They must have been numerous in the ninth oentury, for two Mohammedan traveler? of that period describe a rebel named BaeChoo taking Canton by storm in A. D. 877 and slaughtering 120,000 Jews, Mohammedans, Christians and Parsees. More than one Jew of Kae-Fung-Foo is known to have gained the right to wear the little round button on tbe top of his oap so dear to the ambition of a Chinaman. Tho Talping rebellion dispersed the settlement, and tbe remnant which remains faithful to the memory of old traditions is chiefly poor and distressed.—London Quiver..
